Intention :
We aim to create a safe fun and inspiring space that is conducive to creative expression following the ancient Indian Classical structure and traditions of Raga (Scales) and lush traditional Bhajans (Devotional Composition). The space will encourage group singing as well as instrumentation where possible from whatever instruments people feel keen to translate what we are learning onto. E.g harmonium, slide guitar, drum, etc culminating in a set chosen piece we will perform live at the Alcheringa DreamTime festival !
Creating our own unique composition !
​
(Note Performing at the festival is only a celebratory event to culminate what was learnt and is not essential )
